Sudden changes in your vision or a new eye problem can be frightening — and waiting too long can put your eyesight at risk. At Family Eye Physicians, we reserve daily appointment slots specifically for urgent eye care visits, so patients with eye emergencies, sudden vision loss, eye injuries, and other time-sensitive concerns are seen quickly by a board-certified ophthalmologist — often the same day you call.
If you are searching for an urgent eye doctor near me, a walk-in eye doctor in Chicago, or same-day eye care in Oak Lawn, our five Chicagoland locations are ready to help.
Call (708) 636-9393 to speak with our triage team and reserve your urgent eye care visit today.
Not sure whether your symptoms qualify as an eye emergency? Call us right away if you experience any of the following — don’t wait for symptoms to worsen.
Our ophthalmologists provide emergency eye care for adults and children at every Family Eye Physicians location.
Our clinics are equipped with advanced on-site diagnostic imaging — including OCT, retinal photography, and visual field testing — so most urgent eye problems are diagnosed and treated in a single visit.
Conditions commonly evaluated during an urgent eye care visit include:
When a subspecialist is needed, we provide direct in-house referral to our retina, glaucoma, pediatric ophthalmology, and oculoplastic specialists — no waiting on outside referrals.

On-Site Diagnostics Your ophthalmologist will perform a focused exam and any necessary imaging on the spot — no separate appointments, no referrals out of the practice.
Treatment & Follow-Up You will leave with a clear diagnosis, treatment started, and any follow-up appointments already scheduled.
